Wood is “alive” and must be prepared carefully over a long period of time in order to be suitable for use in an acoustic guitar. Even then, no two pieces of wood are the same.

The saddle captures string vibration transferring it through the bridge and on to the top. The relationship of these three components — saddle, bridge and top — is extremely important on a guitar. Using their advanced skills, our craftsmen fit the saddle into a groove in the bridge with a high level of surface-to-surface contact. The bridge is also precisely positioned and glued on top with unparalleled accuracy.
